检查是否安装python_检查是否安装了Python软件包

What's a good way to check if a package is installed while within a Python script? I know it's easy from the interpreter, but I need to do it within a script.

I guess I could check if there's a directory on the system that's created during the installation, but I feel like there's a better way. I'm trying to make sure the Skype4Py package is installed, and if not I'll install it.

My ideas for accomplishing the check

check for a directory in the typical install path

try to import the package and if an exception is throw, then install package

If you mean a python script, just do something like this:

Python 3:

try:

import mymodule

except ImportError as e:

pass # module doesn't exist, deal with it.

Python 2:

try:

import mymodule

except ImportError, e:

pass # module doesn't exist, deal with it.
